A Quitclaim Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property from one person to another without providing any guarantees about the title. Unlike a warranty deed, a Quitclaim Deed does not ensure that the grantor (the person transferring the property) has a clear title or that there are no liens or encumbrances on the property.
The grantor simply transfers whatever interest they have in the property to the grantee (the person receiving the property). This type of deed is often used in informal or familial property transfers and can be useful in situations where the grantor's interest in the property is uncertain or limited.
